Breast cancer does not always cause noticeable symptoms in its early stages. That’s why regular mammograms are so important for early detection.

It’s also important to know how your breasts normally look and feel. If you notice a new lump, change in breast size or shape, skin or ni**le changes, ni**le discharge or another change that’s unusual for you, talk with your health care provider.

If you’re due for a mammogram, make time for your breast health.
